Congratulations and thank you to the College community for helping us raise $12,241 for Project Compassion.
Project Compassion, which is the main fundraising activity for Caritas Australia, seeks to raise funds for people living in some of the most vulnerable communities across the world.
As usual, the 2022 campaign ran across the six weeks of Lent, with students holding a range of activities in their year groups and PC Classes.
Unfortunately, the impact of COVID restrictions on whole-College events meant that some of our traditional fundraising activities could not go ahead.
The theme of Project Compassion 2022 was ‘For All Future Generations’, which reminded us that the good that we do today will extend and impact the lives of generations to come.
MacKillop has been a strong supporter of Project Compassion, with our students, staff, and the wider College community having raised around $150,000 over the past decade.
Thank you and congratulations to all who contributed to our campaign this year!
St Mary of the Cross MacKillop made the statement: “We are but travellers here, so while we are here we should do as much good as we can and live in peace with each other.”
With this in mind, the College respectfully acknowledges the Ngunnawal people who are the Traditional Custodians and First People of the land on which we gather each day. The College also pays its respects to the Elders past, present and emerging, and any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples living and working in the MacKillop community.
